It would be amazing to win Flanders and the Tour in the same year. They said two Tour winners have won both.

Just Bobet and Merckx prior to today.

Did either win it in the same year?

Thomas is the Brit Tour winner that looked like a possible classics winner but not really at the same time.

That I don't know, mate. Agree on G though. He looked more of a classics rider for a while and shocked me with his tour win.

Merckx won his first TDF and Flanders in the same year (1969).

Pog said he almost cracked on the Paterberg… but didn’t look like it. Outstanding, and a hugely entertaining rider too.

Said Milan San Remo is the hardest classic to win!

Bodet won his last TDF and only Flanders in the same year (1955). So in summary Chrisull will be feeling vindicated in his post earlier and Pogacar will definitely win the Tour 😉 |

Yes, I'm not surprised, MVDP was closing the gap midway through but I think he cracked too. If it had been a 5 second gap it could have been different. I think he'll likely always need to use the Oude Kwaremont to win. |
